The anti-Israel crowd is ever ready to martyr anyone who acts stupidly (brandishing a gun at a security guard or playing chicken with a two-story bulldozer) as long as an Israeli can be blamed. But, Israeli kids who are slaughtered on their way to school cannot be mentioned because they distract from the narrative of the blood-thirsty Israelis.

You never thought for a second that I was blaming Muhammed's death on Daniel's -- that is just your attempt at diversion. No, one didn't cause the other, but they share the same cause -- an insane conflict that could be stopped any time.

If you're going to bring up the deaths of Palestinian kids caused by an insane conflict, then it is only fair to mention that it's happening to children on the other side of the conflict as well.

But, I know you'd prefer to ignore it or say his death doesn't matter because he's not a Palestinian.
